Telangana Declares July 7 And 8 As Ramzan Holidays
Originally, the government had declared July 6 and 7 as the holidays. The change was necessitated as the moon's delayed sighting led to July 7 being declared Eid.
The Telangana government has declared July 7 and 8 as holidays for Eid-ul-Fitr (Ramzan).
Originally, the government had declared July 6 and 7 as the holidays. The change was necessitated as the moon could not be sighted on Tuesday (July 5). Now, the holidays will be July 7 and July 8.
Soon after KCR took power in 2014, he declared that Ramzan and Christmas would henceforth have two days as holidays in the State, in a move widely seen as minority appeasement.
